Fergie eyes Porto's Raul Meireles as Ozil's alternate

Off to Man Utd?

Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly keen to sign the amazing play-maker Raul Meireles if he's unable to sign German midfielder Mesut Ozil who is as told by Alex earlier "over-priced".

Werder Bremen, Ozil's current club demands a sum of £12m which is way beyond United's expenditure limit I guess.

Manchester United has spent just under £25 million this season to bolster the squad. Chris Smalling remains the most expensive transfer for United this season at £10m with Bebe next at £7.4 and finally Mexican super genius striker Chicharito at about £6m reportedly.

This is less than 1/4 of Manchester City's lavish expenditure this year which included big signings such as Yaya Toure, Ballotelli, Silva, Barry to name a few. But the bottom line remains, do these players know how to play together or is the blind management just interested in putting down money just to challenge Manchester United.


My opinion is that Manchester City is NOWHERE near United. As Alex Ferguson said last season ,"City is an expensive club with cheap mentality" shall remain in our hearts for ever.

Mancher Citu, our Bitter rivals, are trying to match United's quality by buying awesome players, can they do any thing but fail YET again?

Alright, I think City does look a bit dangerous this season. But they can't challenge someone like United for United will eat them and not even spare the bones.

Glory Glory!

Owen's miraculous hat-trick puts United on top of the Group!

Triple delight for Michael Owen!

Wolfsburg 1-3 Manchester United

It was great to see Manchester United today. They had a very different squad and still managed to sneak in another memorable victory in Germany tonight.

Fletcher and Carrick were Central defenders whereas Park and Evra took the left back and right back responsibilities. Kuszack was in goal.

An interesting revelation: In the last 4 games United have played the Polish goalkeeper in Goal, they have only conceded twice and scored 13! This includes the hat-tricks scored by Rooney and Owen. So, the Pole has brought some great luck for United.

United's back 4 looked extremely comfortable eventhough Wolfsburg created some threats.

Gibson got a great chance to score for United again from a similar position for which he is famous for, but missed it drastically.

The last minute of the 1st half saw a great cross from Nani which was headed successfully by Owen in the goal.

The Germans came back strongly in the Second Half with an early equaliser from the United wannabe Dzeko. Wolfsburg started looking threatening from then.

Valencia came on for Nani and Obertan replaced Welbeck. Obertan delivered a lovely low cross to Owen who did no mistake in scoring his 2nd goal of the game! It was a lollypop really; really easy finish.

Owen's 3rd goal was the best! He had a great pass from back and was 1 on 1 with the Wolfsburg goalie. He eventually scored by curling the ball over the keeper. It was really a cool goal!

The Hat-trick was really an easy one, there wasnt really much effort in it. It was all about the classy finish that Owen is most famous for!

Well done Michael, hope Fabio capello was watching you.
